I'm so glad someone asked this question, because I guess I'm hard on mine too? (Rough year, I guess.) I bought a bunch of crystals and minerals earlier this year and scattered them about my place. The minerals, obviously, are all fine, but the rose quartz star is chipped and cracked inside, and the rainbow fluorite point is actually clear of all color except some of the purple, and mazed with internal cracks. I soaked the crystals and the minerals in salt water & rosemary on a hunch about a month ago, but while that has cleared up the negativity in my apartment, the crystals seem to not be recovering. Do I really just have to chuck 'em and buy new ones? Why does that happen? Inquiring minds.....
